Wage Compliance | Need to audit your payroll?

WAGE COMPLIANCE & UNDERPAYMENTS

With wage theft laws in place in many states and territories and increased penalties under federal law, proactive wage compliance programs are essential for all businesses – big or small. Businesses are vulnerable to common compliance traps, such as: wage compliance

misapprehending which modern award applies to your business, or even if one applies at all;
misinterpreting modern awards and enterprise agreements;
misunderstanding entitlements and allowances; and
mis-classifying employees.

How we can help

businesses big and small

The best way to ensure payroll compliance is to conduct a payroll compliance audit. Modern awards frequently change, and navigating changes can be a challenge.

We use an automated tool, developed in-house by expert employment lawyers, called Award Assured^© to streamline the entire auditing process.

payroll remediation projects to assist you to identify, quantify and repay underpayments to affected employees;
proactive compliance programs such as annual payroll reviews for award-covered and salaried employees;
interactions with the Fair Work Ombudsman and other regulators;
understanding of industrial instruments applicable in your business; and
franchisor obligations to take “reasonable steps” to ensure compliance with workplace laws by franchisees.
